Fattening pigs with tannin-rich source (Ceratonia siliqua L.) and high doses of vitamin E: Effects on growth performance, economics, digestibility, physiology, and behaviour

This study aimed to assess the impact on growth, economic results, apparent nutrient digestibility (CTTAD), physiological variables, and animal behaviour when 214 fattening pigs (78±8.5 kg of initial body weight and 130±4.5 days of age) of both sexes (gilts and boars) were fed two levels of carob pu...
